Instructions
Step 1
If the curtains are planned on fabric hinges, then the width in this case must be calculated by multiplying the width of the cornice by 1, 5 or 2. Curtains of this kind do not require strong drapery, and double width will be enough.
Step 2
It is better to buy curtains on eyelets or on a standard curtain tape in double the width of the curtain rod.
Step 3
Curtains with a pencil fold or with puffs should be purchased starting from double width. The optimal width of curtains with fancy folds starts from multiplying the width of the cornice by 2, 5.
Step 4
When sewing curtains, you must also take into account their length. For example, if the curtains are planned to be up to the window sill, then it is better to make the length so that the curtains do not reach the window sill by 1 cm in order to better slide along the cornice. If the length of the curtains is planned to the floor, then there are two options. Either less by 1 cm, or if the curtain fabric is dense, you can make it fall to the floor.
